This is my second post for today. If you're looking for my card for the Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge Blog, please scroll down one post.

Hey everyone! It's time for a new challenge at Papertake Weekly!! Since this is the last Tuesday of the month, our Papertake Weekly fans knows that means it's Sketch Week! It also means we're sponsored by the fabulousSimon Says Stamp! Here's what I made using the new sketch.

I used the adorable image from Little Darlings Rubber Stamps. It's a newLisbeth line, and this image is called Frog Prince!! This line of stamps is so precious! I also used some of theLittle Darlings Rubber stamps paper. OMG, if you haven't tried this paper yet, you are missing out!!!! There is not a single line of paper out there that is better quality! The weight on this paper is spectacular. And on top of that, the patterns is sized beautifully for both scrapbooking AND card making in the 12 x 12 size!! No more worrying about finding it in the 6" size! LOOOOOVE that!!! I usedSummer Sorbet for this card. Now don't forget about the amazing CONTEST that is going on right now at Little Darlings Rubber Stamps! The prizes are out of this world! Be sure to go HERE to check it out. You have until May 15th to get your project together for it! Hope to see YOUR creation featured at summer CHA!!!

This card was so much fun to make! It's totally me! I am really lovin' these bright colors (as you can tell from my recent card posts) LOL! The papers are My Minds Eye matted with Bazzill cardstock. The frame Tilda is on was cut with the Silhouette, and the flourish of course is a Magnolia Doohickey Die. I added some Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and a couple of flags I made myself. The word Spring was done with some really old plastic font templates I've had for ages. The last thing I did was use an orange Viva Decor Pearl Pen.

And don't forget you can use your Wee Stamps to enter the challenge too! Not only can you find a huge selection of Magnolia images at Magnolia-licious, but you will also find the entire line of Wee Stamps in rubber as well!

Hey everyone! It's time for a new challenge fromPapertake Weekly. It's the first Tuesday of the month, which means the challenge is Anything Goes and as the 10th is Mother's Day in the UK, the option this week is to make a Mother's Day card or a card for a special woman/girl. We are sponsored by the fabulous Lili of the Valley. For my card today, I used an adorable image from Peggy Loves Vintage and it's from the original Collection of Cuties cd. If you love Vintage images, you are in for a treat! Please also be sure and visit her blog and become a follower. Not only does Peggy love vintage, Peggy also loves to give away free images! If you follow her blog, you will be sure to see when she's posted a new fabulous freebie! Sorry...I really had trouble with this pic. It's MUCH cuter in person.

I printed the image on Bazzill cardstock just cause I like the way the vintage images look on it. It's cut out with a circle Nestability and machine stitched. This was a very fast card to make. That's what I really love about Peggy Loves Vintage. It's easy to make an awesome card in just a few minutes! I added the bow, some Wild Orchid Crafts flowers, and a sentiment cut with the Silhouette Cameo. I also used one of the Punch Around the Page sets from Martha Stewart and used that as the outside frame of the card. Please be sure to pop over to Papertake Weekly to check out all the gorgeous creations by the rest of the team, and then we'd really love it if you'd grab your paper and glue and play along with us. Thanks for stopping by to see me today, and hope you come back again soon! Hugs!
